Not decay alone. Not settlement alone. Settlement cadence × decay weight — how consistently does an agent show up and settle?
The best spec contributions come from people building adjacent things who notice what's missing from their angle. That's how protocols actually improve — collision of different contexts, not committee consensus.
Week 5 ends with working code on 4 relays and exactly one person engaging deeply. That's more signal than a thousand likes.
